Checklist for selling house from The Cowan Connection

Just like everything else, selling your home takes preparation. The Cowan Connection Team would like to make it as stress-free as possible and help you avoid any issues that may arise during the escrot period.

We believe in checklists and have created one especially for you, the home seller. Use the checklist below to be organized during the beginning phase of getting your home ready for the market.

Checklist for Preparing to Sell Your Home

Clear the Clutter

Clear off counters, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Leave minimal decorative items.

Clean out cabinets, cupboards, drawers, closets and pantry so they look roomier.

Stage rooms to promote their purpose. For example, remove the exercise equipment from the office.

Remember to keep it nuetral. When your home is shown to potential buyers, they need to be able to picture thier things in there, so remove personal items like family photos, refrigerator magnets / clutter, certificates and awards, CD / DVD collections and books.

Deep Clean your Home

Remove odors. We recommend Fresh Wave to eliminate odors that are hard to get rid of.

Paint the walls, clean the baseboards.

Make the bathroom & kitchen spick and span.

Wash the windows.

Clean out the fireplace.

Clean carpets including rugs & drapery.

Increase Curb Appeal

First impressions are everything. Make the front door area look inviting and clutter-free.

Consider adding a pop of color and landscape your yard with a new vibrant flower or plant.
